will be some showers we hope for our area tomorrow afternoon and evening. a couple clusters, we're probably getting debris from these and i think that batch will miss us, but there ill be some showers and parts -- will be some showers and parts of ohio and pennsylvania are looking for the possibility of severe thunderstorms with gusty winds. could we have an isolated rumble of thunder not necessarily severe? that could happen. bulk of this will be late tomorrow into overnight hours. tomorrow will feel warm at 86, a bit more humid and we could get a little warmer or cooler depending on cloud cover. that will determine our temperature for the day. but the front coming through tomorrow will drop temperatures and actually it will be cooler as we head into friday and saturday. so let's talk about where we are temperature-wise now. 63 degrees in gair dulles, stil 73 in the district and 66 for baltimore. now as we look up to our north
